THREE workmates may be in need of a good rest after a fundraising marathon for charity – but no one had better suggest they have a sit-down to recover.

Gerry Humphreys, Tracy King and Becky Griffiths, who work for Wrexham-based Pendine Park care organisation group are still feeling a little tender after sitting in every seat at Wrexham’s Racecourse Ground completing the marathon in six hours.

They undertook the unusual challenge to help raise money for the local branch of the Alzheimer’s Society.

They chose the charity because they find themselves having to deal with a growing number of dementia cases.

Gerry, who had to spend the next day recovering in bed said: Š“We’re very proud of ourselves, but we wouldn’t do it again.”

The trio have already raised about £300.

Last year, plans for a £4m centre of excellence at Pendine Park to care for people with dementia were given the go-ahead.

The new centre, to be called Bodlondeb, is a response to the growing need for specialist care.
